Default Visor Replacements

I was wondering if anyone makes sun visors that are a little more well made that will fit our cars. The ones that I have now are just the stock cloth covered cardboard-ish material and are frankly falling apart. Thanks for th ehelp

These use ABS plastic inside of the visor instead of the stock cardboard.

Those look nice, but are wayyy more expensive than what I was looking for, plus they dont fit verts. I was more looking for any pieces from other cars that are better made that might fit or be modified to fit in place of the stock ones.

Are all visor attachment points created equal? Try swapping with a car you like more.

Thats what I was wondering. I havent gotten the chance to check out any other models yet, so I was wondering if anyone had done any swaps that looked good.

Like said earlier just take them to a local Auto Upholstry shop and have them redone. It's usually pretty cheap and I had mine done along with the headliner many years ago and cost me $150 for everything (headliner and both visors).

with mine, the part that broke is the metal that goes into the visor and connects it to the triangle piece. The metal tore in half on BOTH sides within 6 months or so of each other. The visors themselves were in good shape still though. 82,000 on the car

Anybody have a picture of these in real life next to a stock OEM one?

I've always liked the Suburban/Tahoe type of Visor that stretched out to end of the window, rather then ours that only go half way and block Nothing. Anyone know if those would fit?

My drivers side visor just did the same thing today. Now I really need to get another set
